S.C.U.M. (or to give them their full originally-invented-by-would-be-Warhol-assassin Valerie Solanas name, Society For Cutting Up Men: essentially a cheery manifesto about how all men are a bit rubbish, basically) hark back to the clattering industrial sounds of yore, managing to evade the ham-fisted attempts of lesser acts who’ve looked to the era for inspiration. With high-concept sounds and an ace sleeve, Again Into Eyes is a bold debut, and an extremely rewarding experience. Initial listens may paint it as a bit of a pretentious dirge, but dive into it and soon warmth and light flood in. There’s a sense that S.C.U.M. are only just beginning, and the promise here suggests you should mark them for future greatness.
